At this moment I'm drinking a cocktail and I almost choked on what I saw. T*ng*na! What nonsense is that?

/clap clap clap!

(What the hell is he doing there ?!)

Is this what he means that I just need to earn their trust? Tsk! Isn't he thinking ?! Her life is more dangerous by chance!

I just watched them walk until the Queen reached her seat up there and Gyro who stayed next to the Queen while standing while the others all applauded and smiled. Even Yleunie and Jess who were just next to me.

"Oh Aries is that your face? * Looks at what I'm looking at with a smirk * Hhmmm .... do you like Gyro?" he asked but I didn't answer him because I knew Gyro could hear me whispering.

("What's the scene toh Gyro?")

("What kind of scene sis? I'm not doing something bad sis. I only escorting the Queen okay?")

("What ?! You can't fool me Gyro I know you have—")

("Sis let's just talk about this tomorrow okay?")

"Pfft! Aries don't worry he's just her pet." Yleunie laughed again which made me look at her.

"Na..did you hear what we talked about?" I turned to her as Jess continued to eat here next to us. It doesn't matter that Yleunie is on my left while Jess is next to Yleunie so I'm facing her while I'm on the side near the dance floor.

"Nope I deactivated my ability. Whenever I go to a crowded place I always deactivated my ability in hearing. You know ... it hurts my ear. Why? You're talking to Gyro?"

"Well ye..s"

"So you like him?" he asked again so I was able to turn around and shake quickly.

"Nooo !! No Lunie NEVER! He's ... my brother .."

"What ?!" Lunie said in shock while Jess stopped eating then looked at me and her eyes widened.

"Oh Em Gi ..." Jess reacted then left her mouth open.

"Why? Is there any problem with that?" shocked I asked them because of their reaction.

"W-wait Aries .... Have you been told anything besides us?" Lunie whispered while holding my shoulder.

"No ... you're still there. Why?"

"This is not the right place to talk about that Aries because the Queen is here but Aries remember this ..... DON'T. EVER. TELL. ABOUT. THIS. TO. ANYONE. Okay?" He said seriously.

I would have asked more questions but the emcee preceded me.

"Okay everyone now is the time for our Prince and Princesses to take the spotlight. So what are we waiting for? !! Let's welcome our Prince and Princesses !!"

"Prince Druve!" the identifier shouted the name of whoever that prince was. At the same time, the man suddenly came out and waved.

/clap clap clap

But I didn’t even understand that introduction where they were coming out of the stairs on the right that I said earlier because I heard Lunie whisper behind me.

"Aries there's a lot of things you need to know about this school. We'll talk to you to our room okay?" Lunie whispered in her lowest voice.

I nodded before looking up again and then staring at Queen Viesuah who was smiling at this moment while watching one of the Princesses and Princes come out.

(what the hell did you do in this world?)

After that I went to look at what they said was my brother. Until now, I still have doubts about being his brother. There's something inside me that telling me not to believe that sh*t!

(what are you planning to do Gyro? are you one of them? can I really trust you just like Daddy told me before?)

Ayshh! Why do I have to be like them in the first place? My head hurts— wh ... at the ....

Something hit my eye that I never thought I would be amazed at the nice combination of these creatures. Like hell, his horn is like a beast, then his face is like a beast, but his body and hands are like a human, then his feet are like a horse! And they really have wings. Actually, they are two, they seem to be the most body guards when the Queen.

"Uhmm ... Lunie what are the creatures on either side of Queen Viesuah?"

"I don't know. We also don't know where in the world she got those. On the first day she became Queen, she was with them and it's even worse because there are so many of them and they look almost the same. News I think they are the trainers of the graduates who have chosen to take part in the battle or be one of those who want to protect the Royal Family. "

I nodded after hearing his answer and then I looked at those creatures again.

(why does something seem wrong?)

"Princess Haizel Del Vin!" the emcee's announcement so I looked up again at the top of the stairs on that right. It was dark all around now and there were only two spotlights here, one on the Queen and one on each person coming down that staircase.

"WOow ... she's stunning!" I whipered.

The introduction went well not until Prince Zero time come. It takes few minutes of calling his name again and again but he didn't show up.

Yes, that guy didn't show up so it's still a commotion because they are looking for the Prince. They started looking because even his parents and relatives who were here did not know where he was.

(It's different in my dream so it's like a thorn pulled me out)

Looks like I've changed what should have happened and it's good news for me. That Zero is just too big to disappear. Also, that bwesit is immortal, why do they have to make trouble and look for him. Tsk. I'm sure it's just in the sacrifice forest.

"Jess! Why are they so busy looking for that Prince in less than an hour when you look for him. What if he's just wandering around?" I asked her as Lunie disappeared next to us because she said she was needed.

"No Aries, all of us here know how reprehensible Zero is but he never did this. That's how crazy he is and often takes cutting classes. He still respects this kind of occasions. Even though he's Aries, he knows how to respect, so it's impossible. he didn't attend here. " he answered worriedly.

I just nodded and then looked around again. They literally start to get into trouble as the Queen leaves her seat to take care of what is happening.

(Is he that special?)

A few minutes after Jess and I talked, Yleunie returned with Haizel. They both couldn’t paint their faces when they got close to us. Jess and I were already sitting on the sofa.

"Do you know where he is?", Jess asked.

"Jess isn't there yet so we're worried." Lunie replied while sitting next to me while Haizel fell to sit next to Jess.

"Aysh! I'm so worried naa!" Do you know the artistic tone but you know there is concern. That's the tone of Haizel's speech today, as if his artistic tone is natural.

"Wait! Have you been to the sacrifice forest yet?"

"Of course newbie! I know very well all his nests here and all of that is Yleunie and I chineck but ... we fail to find him .." Haizel replied to me with a sad tone at the end.

"Queen Viesuah is here! Let's give our respect !!" announcing the presence of the Queen so we immediately all stood up then at once bowed.

The celebration was not continued because of what happened so we went back to the formal way of communicating.

"Thank you to all of you who came to celebrate my birthday with me. Anyway, something came up and I'm sorry to say this my dear student but I need to stop this immediately and send you to your dorms. That's all every— "

To everyone's surprise, the oversized main door suddenly opened and spat out a man who was wearing pure black and his lip color was also black, then you added his thick eyeliner. It was as if the dead had come back to life. He floats in here and laughs.

Her hair is very fine like Master Bojin's. You can be mistaken for bathing the gel in her hair. The shape of his face is elongated and then his eyes get bigger, his nose is piercing and his lips are just right. His skin is also pale, he is obviously a vampire.

"WAHAHAHAHAHA! ... HAHAHA! .... HAHAHA!" devilish net laugh while flying but without wings approaching the Queen.

The Queen's face was so shocked that I was surprised so I whispered to Lunie.

"Who is he?"

"S-he's L-lhouzifer ..." he answered me stuttering.

"W-what is he doing here ...?" Jess's reaction

"Why that m-man is here? D-don't tell me he had something to do with Kuya's disappearance?" it was here that his artistic tone disappeared as fear, concern and astonishment prevailed in Haizel’s tone.

(Is that Lhouzifer?)

I can also see the shock in everyone here. I can no longer understand what is going on here. A while ago I found out about Gyro who is still a bit chaotic for me and then Zero disappeared and now there is a man laughing and saying Lhouzifer ?!

(I'm getting even more nacurious about what's going on here)

"WAHAHAHAHA! Why do you seem so shocked my Queen? Aren't you happy to see your former love?" said Lhouzifer. The rumor started because of what Neto said.

"Stop it Lhouzifer !! There's only one person I've loved and continue to love and that's Maxzeus! And we both know who you really love don't we?" the Queen's defense was startled in the eyes but she eventually recovered as well. He immediately calmed himself and adjusted his posture.

"You're right there my Queen so I think you already know why I'm here."

"The Prince! You're holding him aren't you? If I were you I'd bring him back. There's no point in taking him because no one can be sure he has the power you need." the Queen's calm but combative answer.

"But you're also not sure if he doesn't really have what I need are you?" after that question from Lhouzifer he slowly descended right in the middle of our round dance floor.

From here where I stand I can clearly see the face of this Lhouzifer. I could see the smile on her lips as the Queen kept her calm but I could feel the nervousness in her.

(Obviously you're hiding something Queen!)

"What else do you need Lhouzifer and did you even bother to get in here when the Prince was already with you?"

"I just want to give my congratulations on my Queen's birthday. And I don't think that's bad, is it?"

"I don't need a greeting from someone like you Lhouzifer."

It's like I'm watching a fantasy series with the tense I'm feeling right now. The Queen's face was serious while Lhouzifer seemed to be just annoyed. I feel the nervousness and fear prevailing in this room. I don't even understand what's going on but I'm sure of only one thing. Mr. is in danger now. That's Prince.

My eyes searched for Gyro to ask for help but I failed to find him. I felt the approaching presence of Master Bojin with Shone.

(it's still alive)

"If you don't need anything else here, leave Lhouzifer." Queen continued.

"Ah ah ah my Queen. I have a present for you! My birthday gift for you my Queen. * Nagsmirk saka humarap samin * This gift my Queen! Is very precious to you." he said as he slowly turned back to Queen using only his head.

I noticed something on Lhouzifer's waist. It is a small bottle as in size about 1 and 1/2 inch only. In that bottle I saw closely what was inside. My visual is kinda a long range so it seems like my eyes are zoomed in too far from the normal human eye. I closed my eyes consciously before the contents of the very small bottle hanging from Lhouzifer's waist finally became clear to my eyes.

"What do you mean?" Queen asked so Lhouzifer finally faced her again with both hands as high as if she was praying and then laughed very loudly again.

When he confronted the Queen, he went to the right side of the bottle where the Prince he had been looking for was. When Lhouzifer turned his back on the Queen and faced us, the right side of his waist faced my area because we were on the left side of the room.

After he laughed, he suddenly hit his black cape and at the same time someone took the left side of his waist and then threw it hard on the floor, causing the net to break. After it broke, black smoke came out and a few seconds later the smoke disappeared so a big box came out.

Lhouzifer floated it with his hand then slowly brought it closer to the Queen's stand who was currently standing in her high chair.

(I need to get the little bottle where the lame Prince is!)

"I think you already know what is inside of it my Queen." smiling Lhouzifer said. His voice is just average, it's not that big so you'd think he's not a bad person because of his voice.

I didn't move around anymore so I immediately used my ability to quickly pick up the small bottle on the other side of her waist. It was at this time that the Queen seemed to be saying goodbye.

"Then my dear Queen. It's only up to here * started flying again * Goodbye! WAHAH—" he stopped laughing maybe because that's when he only felt what I did.

Before he finally flew away, I quickly grabbed the bottle. I didn't have that much trouble because it was just tied to his pants.

After he suddenly stopped laughing, he slowly turned around while he was still in the air to look at me. I stared at him and then smiled at him foolishly.

(oops! Too late manong!)

I quickly broke the very small bottle I was holding which caused a huge black smoke to come out. At the same time, Kupal Prince came out in a circular motion. When he finally got out, he spread his wings and looked at me. I can now see his blood -colored eyes, his thick eyebrows, sharp nose and kissable lips. Even his gray hair with white in some net fibers.

(I just stared at him like this ..)

"How ..." Lhouzifer whispered. He was supposed to move but Master Bojin and Shone entered with the creatures I saw earlier.

"Catch syaa !!" Master Bojin shouted so the beasts with horse legs acted immediately but it was too late.

"Ayysshh!" Lhouzifer said before finally disappearing.

After that incident, Zero came down from the flight but I didn't expect what he would do. I thought what was he going to do so he approached me suddenly but ...

(he hugs me ... very tightly with his wings)

Everything seemed to be in slow motion. From the time he approached me until he hugged me. It seems like all those events are too slow. I wasn’t expecting it so I didn’t know what to do but I was only sure of one thing.

I feel the comfort. The comfort that I have long needed in the amount of things that have happened to me. It feels different, it's like a soft sofa for me to rest on. This hug, this is my resting place. And I feel connected to him.

"Thank you ..." he whispered calmly

I was surprised when he said that so I didn't realize that he had already let go of my hug. But his scent stayed in my nose, it seems like even if he doesn't hug me anymore, I can still smell him and then he sticks in my mind. And the 10 seconds we hugged seemed to me to last 5 minutes. He was like that for a long time in my mind because the time for that to happen slowed down.

(I can't forget about that hug!)

"Queen! Forgive me for what happened! I just .... I can't .. I- I ... I am very sorry Queen Viesuah ... Hindi ko sya kinaya .. he's too strong .." paghingi ng Kupal Prince apologized as he knelt as if proposing in the middle of the dance floor and bowed. After our hug, he went straight to that position.

While Master Bojin and Shone are just behind Prince but a few meters away. I'm the only one pretty close to the Prince.

"Students! You can go back to your rooms now and take some rest. And you! And you! Prince Zero! Come with me." the Queen's authoritative command of us at the same time instructing Master Bojin and Prince Zero to accompany her.

The student began to move to return to their rooms but I was still standing in my position. When I finished getting the bottle earlier, I went to the right side of the room at the other end of the circle here on the dance floor.

After that announcement by the Queen, Kupal Prince also stood up. As he stood he looked on the opposite side where Yleunie, Jess and Haizel were still.

(maybe he looked at his brother to let him know he was okay?)

When he was able to stand up properly, he looked at me. Staring for a long time, only now did I feel like something was crashing inside me. Those stares of his are sending something else to me.

He first released our gaze in less than ten seconds but I kept my eyes on him. The three of them approached me so that we could go out at the same time.

"Did you see? Did you see Prince Zero's eyes?"

"Yes girl ... I don't think it's true that he said he has red eyes ..." whispered the students who accompanied us as we left the room.

"Is that red? It's so different from that redness."

"That girl is really different because I heard they are real blood ..." they whispered intriguingly.

"It's serious! It's as if I'm still feeling a little scared. Her looks are frightening."

"Oh, as long as I'm not afraid of my Prince! Charming! Hey ... I'm even more enamored with him ..." replied the other as if fantasizing that the smile would reach the sky.

(He still has a handle on his heart effect!)

"Whatever you're hearing Aries, don't pay attention. Oh my gosh! We were just shaking in your scene earlier. Like Oh Em Gi! Yyiieee!" Jess said to me with great excitement as she wrapped her arms around my arm.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"You need to be doubly careful Prince Zero. I'll keep an eye on you with Gyro." authoritative utterance of the Queen after they reached the net office. The Prince, who had been bowing before, looked at him.

"I don't need a guard dear Queen .. * glances at Gyro who is to his right * I can handle myself." the Prince answered seriously. Gyro smiled.

"Kàya ?! Is that what you think about kaya? Prince! He almost got you earlier. So if you don't want to and if you want, I'll watch over you. Your parents have also agreed to this. Just follow." the Queen shouts at him once abruptly at last.

"I'll let you watch but ... * looks at Gyro again first then returns to the Queen * Not to someone like him." the Prince replied while pointing at Gyro. The Queen also looked at it with a sigh and then finally sat down at her desk.

"Okay fine. I'll find someone better who can be your guardian—"

"I want to recommend my cousin." sabat ng Prinsipe. So the Queen looked at him.

"Wait .. No! Choose who ever you want .. just .. just don't choose that one." the Queen stopped once holding her forehead.

"Why? He's my cousin anyway, Queen. If you don't agree I won't let you watch either." stubbornness but the Queen did not answer him. The Prince looked at him with a pissed off smile.

"Unless you're hiding something ... Queen." slowly the Queen looked at him because of the said neto.

"Fine. Gyro call Karx De Visco–"

"I will call him." the Prince once again bowed and then finally left with an air smirk.

When the Prince's door closed, the Queen went astray.

"Waaahhh! Lhou..zifer. I will kill you motherf*ucker! Aahh!" loss of the Queen accompanied by a slam on her desk.

While disappearing his attendant approached him once showed the medium size box to him. Lhouzifer's gift to him. He calmed down when he saw it.

But before he opened it, he first let out Gyro who had been in the corner and was watching him.

"You may go Gyro." net order.

"Are you okay my Queen?" Gyro asked.

"Yes I'm okay so now. Leave." the Queen replied so Gyro did nothing but leave.

After closing the door, he also told his assistant to leave the box with him and leave. After that, he stared at the box. He was about to open it but there was a sudden knock.

"Dear Queen. I am Master Bojin."

"All right then." he ordered Master Bojin to enter.

"How am I ordering you?" authoritative net question. Before Master could answer, he noticed the clutter in the room.

"We don't know what Lhouzifer used to get in here. We have no idea how he broke the protection we put at the school against him. Unless someone lets him in." serious answer net.

"Hayyss .. go ahead you have a go. Let's talk to others tomorrow. I'm tired. Too much has happened today and on the day of my birthday."

"All right, dear Queen." Master Bojin said goodbye and bowed before finally leaving the room.

When the Queen made sure that the net was gone, she turned the box that Lhouzifer had given her again. Neto breathes deeply as it slowly opens. When he finally opened it, his eyes widened.

"WAHH! Take that away! Take that box away! * Stands up and backs away while staring at the empty heart of the box * aahhh!" startled cry of the Queen. The fear in his eyes was also obvious.

"Dear Queen, what's the problem?" asked the female attendant.

"Take that away from me! H-not wrong. I-Hide it! Hide it in my closet. Now!" the Queen commands a furious cry with trembling also all over her body.

When the slave left with the box, the Queen sat in a corner.

"H-no .. nothing .. w-I'm not at fault .. h-no! I didn't kill him! H-I didn't mean to. I didn't kill him .." the Queen said in a panic. sobbed as he slowly sat up due to weakness then hugged himself.

***********

LIYA'S POV

"What are you doing?" I asked after I left my room after I changed my clothes.

"We're just securing our place Aries." Haizel answered me artfully while he was standing at the stand table and eating ice-cream.

Then the two of them know what is going on around our room. When Jess saw me, she ran up to me and suddenly grabbed my shoulders and took me to the single sofa and then sat there.

"What's wrong? Why do you have to secure it? Aren't you going to sleep yet?" I asked one question after another after Jess sat me down.

I thought they were all asleep so I decided to go out to drink some water. I just thought, it's so quiet because that's what I thought.
